Yay infusion!
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Huh. Our Human Resources department is now The People Team. I guess that's good, Human Resources always sounded kind of icky to me. But now we have a VP of People, a Director of People, and People programs and it all sounds weird

We have a Digital Storyteller (somehow, that never gets old).

Our HR/benefit office is now the "Office of Total Rewards". I thought that was annoying, but it is better than "People".
ETA: all I can think of is "Soylent Green is People".

Actually, that's probably a good thing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Our HR/benefit office is now the "Office of Total Rewards".
Is it staffed by three Capital One cards in a trenchcoat?

If they start offering Soylent Green as snacks I will worry

Jessica, LOL.
The worst renaming that hit me personally is that I work in Continueing Education. Of course we just can't call it The Continuing Education Office, because that would be too simple. So we were the Center for Lifelong Learning. Then we hired a brand consultant who came up with the name EdVantage (like Educational Advantage), which is both confusing AND we have a local credit union named Advantage, so everyone thought they called the wrong number. Later, when that Program Director was fired, I begged the Dean to at least Turn it Back to CLL. And we are still CLL. I am now part of the EdIT team, which you would think stood for Educational IT. But no, we are separate from IT, and are the Educational Innovation Team. We struggle with people calling us IT, people contacting us for IT, but no one will let us change to Instructional Design Team because they like a pun acronym.
